Patent GB-190527181-A (GB)
Title: Adjustable Driving Gear for the Duct Roller of Printing Press Inking Mechanism.
Inventor: ROCKSTROH MAX
Filed: 1905-12-29
Granted: 1906-06-21
Abstract: 27,181. Rockstroh, M. Dec. 29. Friction ratchets.-Relates to an adjustable driving-gear for the intermittently rotating duct roller of printing - press inking - mechanism whereby the stroke of the roller can, during the working of the press, be adjusted with accuracy within the shortest range. A crank c having an extension 4 is loosely mounted on the shaft k of the duct roller t, and is rocked by a crank a which has a rotary or oscillatory motion. In the groove h of a disk i rigidly secured to the shaft k is located the projection g on a locking-piece f. The foot of the latter passes into a recess d in the boss e of the crank c, and it also carries a roller l which bears against a loosely mounted segmental piece m. The position of the piece m can be varied by means of a screw q and a nut 8 carried by a link p. The nut 8 carries a pointer 9 which moves over a scale u. If the rod b is moving downwards, the piece g of the locking-piece f moves freely upwards in the groove h, the roller l bearing on the guide m, but as soon as the roller passes off the guide m the piece g turns in the groove h, the sides of which it grips, Fig. 1, and forms a driving-connexion between the crank a and the duct roller t, which is thus rotated. In the return motion of the piece f, a stud z and spring n on the crank c bearing against the piece f prevent it from exerting any clamping action. In order to throw out the driving-gear completely, the nut 8 is placed over a pin w, the screw q being lifted out of the pivoted bearing 2. This causes the piece m to assume such a position that the roller l never passes off it, and so the roller t is not rotated. By moving the nut 8 over the scale u, the angle through which the duct roller revolves can be adjusted. In the modification shown in Fig. 9, wherein the driving-gear is arranged outside the press framework, the locking-piece f, Fig. 12, is pivoted at 12 on the crank c. The guide m is replaced by a loose disk 13, part of the circumferential flange of which is recessed or cut away. Except when the roller l runs in this cut-away portion of the flange, the piece g does not exert any clamping action in the groove of the disk i. The position of the disk 13 is adjusted by means of a link p and a screwoperated nut. In another modification, the driving- gear is placed within the framework of the press. A reciprocating rack operates a loose pinion on the shaft k, the hub of which pinion has a lateral projection to which the locking-piece is attached as in Fig. 9. Instead of the disk 13, a ring, recessed over a portion of its circumference, is located on the disk i. This ring has a radial arm which is provided with a pointer and can be secured at any point on a scale. The locking-piece acts as in Fig. 9, but a spring retains the roller l against the ring on the disk i.

Inventor: BERRY ARTHUR FRANCIS
Filed: 1906-01-26
Granted: 1907-01-26
Abstract: 2066. Berry, A. F. Jan. 26. Conductors, insulating. -Coils for electric apparatus such as transformers, dynamos, &c. are constructed with conductors covered with an inner layer of insulation normally of a more or less pliable nature but capable of being converted by heat or alternate heating and cooling into a hard substance not easily liquefied. A thin outer layer of perishable or inert material, such as cotton threads, is employed to hold the inner layer in place initially, and this under the action of heat is converted into porous friable material which allows the liquefied compositions to exude between and bind the conductors together into a solid mass as shown in Fig. 4. A suitable material for the inner covering is " berrited " asbestos paper, the paper being preferably wound on to the conductor together with the outer cotton covering after the two have been passed together through a bath of liquefied " berrite composition and subsequently wiped. The heating and cooling of the conductor may be effected before or after the coil is built up in the apparatus in which it is to be used. Layers of non- conducting material of the nature described may be placed between layers of the conductor in a coil or winding.

Patent GB-190613570-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Automatic Fire-arms.
Inventor: WHITING WILLIAM JOHN
Filed: 1906-06-13
Granted: 1906-10-25
Abstract: 13,570. Whiting, W. J. June 13. Breech actions, sliding breechblock.-Fig. 3 is a side elevation of an automatic pistol with the breech-slide in the rearward position ; Fig. 4 is an horizontal section showing the breech closed and the barrel in plan; Figs. 5 and 6 are vertical sections showing the parts in the closed and open positions respectively ; Fig. 12 is an horizontal section showing the stop for putting the breech-slide actuating-lever out of action. The barrel 30 is locked to the breech-slide 40 by means of a projection 31 on the top of the barrel chamber engaging in the aperture 48 in the forward part of the top of the breech-slide 40. Unlocking is effected by the barrel being made to move downwardly and rearwardly during the recoil by means of oblique ribs 33 upon the sides of the barrel engaging with corresponding grooves in the side walls of the body. Another part of the invention consists in the means for connecting the breech-slide with the swinging lever 71, which is actuated by the return spring 70. The connexion consists of a loose pin 80, Fig. 4, which is pushed through a hole 83 in the side wall of the breech slide 40 to engage the end in a recess 84 in the loading rib or breech-block of the slide. The lever 71 engages in a groove 81 of the pin 80. A stop device for the lever 71 is shown in Fig. 12 in the operative position, and consists of a pushpiece 90 with a notch 94 into which the lever 71 normally enters in the forward position ; if, bowever, the slide is drawn back a short distance to bring the lever 71 out of the notch 94, the pushpiece can be pushed in and then blocks the lever 71 as shown in Fig. 12. The connexion between the breech-slide and the lever can then be broken by pushing the slide forward to disengage the lever from the groove of the pin 80, which can then be withdrawn. The means for preventing "double shots" consists of a vertical pin shown in dotted lines in Fig. 5, engaging the lever 65 connecting the trigger to the sear. When the barrel is depressed to unlock it from the slide, the pin is depressed and lowers the lever 65 so that connexion is broken and cannot be restored until the breech is again closed and locked. The breechslide is held in the open position, after the firing of the last cartridge in the magazine, by a projection 105 of the lever 100, Fig. 6, which is lifted about the pivot at its forward end by the magazine follower engaging the ear 108 of the lever 100. The breech-slide is then retained by the projection 105, which in the normal depressed position of the limb 100 is in line with a longitudinal recess of the breech-block. The projection 105 also acts as a cartridge ejector. The lever 100 can be raised or depressed by an external push-piece 107.
